.throirg'h an 4.aperture in tributing plate, supported upon said baseplate and engaging said studs, a handle also engaging said stu s andtogether withy said hood clamped thereby to said base, terminals forsaid heating element, an insulator block supporting said terminals,passing outward fomsupporting said insulator bloc engaging said stud anda clamping nut on said stud 'fr simultaneously clamping said shank,heat-distributing plate and heating-element to said base.

. 4.. An electrically-heated sad iron comprising la base a 'superposedheat-distributing plate an interposed heating-element, studs projecting-upward from said base, throu h said heating-element andheat-distributing plate, a hood engaging said studs, 4a handle having abail-shaped frame also engaging said studs, heat-insulating washers uponsaid studs between said handle and hoodclam ing nuts upon said studs forsecuring sai handle and hood to said base, a

lug socket secured to said handle, terminals or said heating-elementprojectin upward into said plug socket, an insulator b ook supportingsaid terminals, passing through an aperture in said hood,` a shank forsupporting said insulator block, and a clamping nut on one of saidstuds' for simultaneously said shank, hood, distributing element anheating element to said base.

5. In an electrically-heated sad iron the combination with a base of asuperposed, heat-distributing "member, an interposed heating-element,terminals for said elements flexibly connected thereto, an insulatorblock for supporting said terminals, a shank for said block normallyoverlapping said heatdistributing plate, a stud projecting upward fromsaid base and passing through said heating-element, heat-distributingplate and4 shank, and a nut on said stud for simultaneously clam ingsaid parts;

6. An e ectrically *heated sad iron,` com-- a superposed,heat-distributprising a base, heating-element, terminals member, a

- for said elements flexibly connected thereto,

an insulator block connected tol said terminals,a laterally-extendingshank on said block, normally overlapping said yheat-distributing plate,a stud projecting upward from said base and assing through saidheating-element, heat-distributing plate and said shank, and a nut,engaging .said stud for clamping said parts. p

7. In an electrically-heated sad iro'nthe tures'in said heating-elementand heat-dissaid hood a shank.

combination with a Ifor said block aperture, a handle frame `secured tosaid-base, and a guide ladapt to receive `a removable plug secured ltothe rear side of said bail and inclosing 'said terminal.

'in presence o two combination with'the base plate of 'a super.. posed,4heat-distributing plate and interposed heating-element, astudprojecting upward from saidbase through allnedaperw tributinging-element flexibly connected thereto, an insulator block secured tosaid terminals, a laterally-extending shank on said insulator block,normally overlapping said heat-distributing plate and slotted forengagement with said stud, and a nut engaging a threaded ,portion ofsa1d stud for clamping said shank, heat-distributing plate andheatingelement to said base.

. 8. In an electrically-heated sad iron, the combination with a base ofa superposed, heat-distributing late and interposed heating-element, astu projecting upward from said base through registering apertures insaid heating-element and heat-distributing plate, terminals for saidheating-element iexibly connected thereto, an insulator block member,terminals for said, heatsecured to said terminals, holding the same infixed relation to each other, a laterallyextending shank for said block,overlapping and engaging a recess in said heat-distributing plate, andslotted for engagement with said stud, and a nut engaging said stud andclamping said shank, heat-distributing plate and heating-element.

9. In an electrically-heated sad iron the base of a superposedheat-distributing plate and interposed heating-element a hood inclosingsaid heat-distributing plate and heating-element, a handle above saidhood, a stud passing through aline apertures in said heating-element,heat-distributing element, hood and handle, terminals for saidheating-element flexibly connected thereto, an insulator block toA whichsaid terminals are lixedly attached, engaging an aperture in said hood,a shank overlying said heat-distributing plate andslotted to engage saidstud, and clamping nuts upon said studs Jfor respectively clamping saidshank, heat-distrib-I uting heating-element and said han'- p plate,

dle an hood to said base.
